The current European football transfer market continues to cause surprise and the most recent one came out of the novel between Robert Lewandowski and Barcelona. And it is that the president of the culé team, Joan Laporta, made some controversial statements in which he apparently ruled out the Pole.
During the tribute to Johan Cruyff, Laporta spoke about several issues related to the future of the Barcelona and one of them was the possible signing of the Polish attacker, about whom he was reserved and showed little interest.
“Robert Lewandowski is an FC Bayern player and I prefer to keep quiet about this situation”, indicated the president culé, according to statements collected by the transfer expert, the Italian Fabrizio Romano.
In turn, the Barça president was grateful that the Pole had made public his desire to come to Barcelona . “We are very happy that he wants to go to Barça. We just want to thank you because you want to come”, he pointed out.
Lewandowski Case – Barcelona
After finishing last season as the top scorer in the Bundesliga with 35 many, ‘Lewi’ informed the Bayern Munich board of his desire to leave the club to look for a new challenge, despite the fact that he still has one year left on his contract.
A short time later, a novel has begun in which the Bavarian club has put endless obstacles to retain the Pole, including rejecting several offers from Barça, the last one for more than $42 million dollars.
Likewise, after so much controversy, Bayern established the player’s price at just over $60 million dollars, a figure that the Spaniards are not willing to pay, among other things because the footballer already has 33 years.
Given all this situation , the newspaper ‘Bild’ of Germany, reported that if he is not sold to Barcelona, Lewandowski will start a strike that will consist of not showing up for the team’s preseason.
